TLDR
This work has shown that fatty acids have a double role in the prebiotic formation of a hydrophobic dipeptide and this role may be related to the role played by phosphorous and nitrogen in the phytochemical reaction.Abstract:

A holistic view on transcriptional regulatory networks in S. cerevisiae: Implications and utilization
TL;DR: This thesis presents studies on transcription factors both individually, or as part of a bigger whole, and investigates stress response, NADPH generation, control over lipid and amino acid metabolism and the glycolytic pathway.

Insights into Early Steps of Decanoic Acid Self-Assemblies under Prebiotic Temperatures Using Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Romina V. Sepúlveda,Christopher Sbarbaro,Yorley Duarte,Fernando D. González-Nilo,Daniel Aguayo +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors explored a simplified system made of decanoic acids under temperatures ranging from 0 °C to 110 °C, to replicate prebiotic conditions, and revealed the first point of aggregation of Decanoic acid into vesicles and examined the insertion of a pre-biotic-like peptide in a primitive bilayer.

Soft and dispersed interface-rich aqueous systems that promote and guide chemical reactions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors illustrate the general concepts applied in such systems and illustrate them with selected examples, ranging from enzyme mimics, the preparation of conductive polymers and transition-metal-catalysed organic syntheses on the industrial scale to the chemistry of prebiotic systems.

TL;DR: It is found that amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, bind to fatty acid membranes and stabilize them against salts, and enhanced stabilization persists after dilution as would occur when a dehydrated pool refills with water—a likely setting for the emergence of cells.
